How to play B7♭9♭13 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the D to the high E at the 5th fret, your ring finger on the low E string at the 7th fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 6th fret and your little finger on the B string at the 7th fret.
From the low E string 7 6 5 5 7 5 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier B7♭9♭13
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your undefined finger on the low E string at the 2nd fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 3rd fret, your index finger on the D string at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 2nd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret. Let the B string ring open.
